BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] This invention relates to the “Delivery” field. It provides themore convenient and fast access to menus of fast food restaurants, otherrestaurants and dining places, that allows receiving a faster deliveryfor potential customers.

[0005] I had numerous talks with GCI, which provides an interactivesystem in Alaska, and fast food restaurants, such as Pizza Hut and KFC.All parties were very interested in this invention. Now we are workingwith these companies on implementing this invention in Alaska. Aftersuccessful implementation in Alaska, we plan to extend it to the otherstates and countries.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] The general idea is to provide a service, which will connectpeople with fast food restaurants, other restaurants and dining placesvia TV set interactive systems using a remote control to make an order.

[0007] Advantages:

[0008] access to more customers because more and more people are usinginteractive systems providers for their TV sets;

[0009] easier access to the system in comparison to the on-line internetdelivery and waiting time on the phone;

[0010] more convenient for customers and fast food restaurants and otherrestaurants and dining places;

[0011] fast interaction between customers and fast food restaurants andother restaurants and dining places (results in faster delivery).

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING

[0013] Diagram “Draft 2” shows a process flow if our company and theprovider of the interactive system use the separate database andserver(s).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The general idea is to provide a delivery service, which willconnect people to the fast food restaurants, other restaurants anddining places via TV set interactive systems. A potential customer willdo it by pressing the buttons on the remote control to make a choicefrom the menu and confirm the order for the delivery.

[0015] Our company will use an interactive system provider database andserver(s) or we will use our database and server(s) connected to theinteractive system provider's database and server(s). We will alsoconnect our database to the fast food restaurants, other restaurants anddining places. This way, a potential customer will have an access to themenus of the fast food restaurants, other restaurants, and diningplaces. We will have an access to the customer specific information suchas name, address, phone number, etc. As well, we will have an access tothe fast food restaurants, other restaurants, and dining placesdatabases. This way we can transfer specific information such as whatand where to deliver and to whom. The fast food restaurant or anotherrestaurant or dining place closest to the customer will provide adelivery service and collect payment.

[0016] Working process:

[0017] 1) Customer will have an ability to see on the TV screen the menuof the interactive service provider with logos or signs of the fast foodrestaurants, other restaurants, and dining places, which are ourcustomers.

[0018] 2) By pressing the buttons on the remote control, a customer willchoose a menu of the specific restaurant.

[0019] 3) Doing this a customer will have an ability to order theproducts (by pressing products choice from the menu) and confirm theorder for the delivery.

[0020] 4) Then a customer can go out of the restaurant's menu and watchany program he/she wants.

[0021] 5) A customer's order will go to the interactive systemprovider's database (with our database connected to it) andautomatically to the screen in the specific restaurant (with thespecific information about the customer).

[0022] 6) The fast food restaurant or another restaurant or a diningplace will send its delivery person to the customer with the processedorder.

[0023] 7) The customer will get the order and pay for the service.
